NORFOLK, Va. -- With the deadline for ordering season tickets for the 2009 football season quickly approaching its May 1st cut-off date, head coach Bobby Wilder celebrated at the Virginia Lottery's Countdown to Kickoff Tailgate Party on the plaza of the Ted prior to Friday night's comedy show featuring Blue Collar Comedy's Bill Engvall and Frank TV's Frank Caliendo.

Fans had chance to meet Coach Wilder and his staff and one lucky fan and a guest had the chance to win a meet and greet with Caliendo and Engvall prior to Wilder introducing the comedians on-stage.

In honor of kickoff coming on Sept. 5th against Chowan, Wilder presented the comedians ODU football jerseys to show off their Monarch pride throughout the country.
